If you ever can, check out the recording Richard Burton made of Hardy's poems. My throat fills up when I read this poem, but to hear that sonorous voice - the perfect voice for Hardy!

I was having a conversation with my elderly aunt and she recalled that my uncle very much enjoyed this poem. She could only remember a couple of lines, - so now I have the poem! All the family were read poems when they were young, during the dark evenings of winter and they remember many -still - so many poems (and songs) which gave them pleasure.

For some reason it brings to mind a novel by Samuel Shem. He wrote "The House of God." The novel I was thinking of was his latest one, "The Spirit of the Place." Weather plays an intriguing character in this book as well. I would even suggest looking at his web site www.samuelshem.com. It's well worth it. Hello,
